OLIF Surgery – A Safe Option for Lumbar Stenosis in the Elderly
Safe Lumbar Stenosis Treatment for the Elderly – 83-Year-Old Benefits from OLIF Surgery
An 83-year-old patient experienced persistent lumbar pain and leg weakness caused by severe stenosis at the L3, L4, and L5 vertebrae, limiting his ability to walk for more than five minutes without resting. After evaluation, he underwent OLIF minimally invasive surgery. The procedure avoided damage to the spinal cord and blood vessels, with larger implants enhancing stability. Post-surgery, he recovered rapidly, regaining mobility for walks, family outings, and travel.
